LOVE, SCHOOL, and VANS

Danielle has given me permission to post about her love life!!:) She is currently in France until February 3 meeting a boyfriend that she met on the LDS website. He grew up in Tahiti and is going to school in France. He comes from a big family and has served a mission (can't remember where). He speaks three languages and He and Danielle have been talking on the phone non stop since September. When she asked us to earn money to go I was thinking there was NO WAY! However she brought her computer over and showed is his entire life and family and Mike talked to Sabrina and she felt o.k. about it. Her boyfriend has two sisters that live in France and a brother in-law and a brother. He also has a sister going to BYU in Hawaii and His Mom and a few more siblings at home in Tahiti! I had a good feeling after talking more with her about him. We will see when she gets back if they are both still in love. She said she would try to e-mail pictures of the two of them so if she does I will post! That was the Love part on to School...



Kole was student of the week this week! Here are some pictures of that...




This is him receiving the award, standing on stage and with his teacher Mrs. B

Kyle and Kole with their friends David and Casey! Standing in our 45 degree freezing morning January weather! BRRRRR it's only going to get up to about 63 today! HEHE
Now on to the Vans.
Our poor Toyota van that has been so wonderful taking us to and from Utah for the past three years finally died. She tried to push 200 thousand miles but only made it to 183 thousand. We are sad to let her go but after moments of grieving we found a used '04 Honda mini van that only had 60 thousand miles on it so after Mike helped lower the price we were able to drive home our newest member of the family who's job will be to get us to and from Utah!! There go the low miles!!
